Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will release an open letter to the American people in the coming hours, his spokesperson Mehdi Tabatabai says.
US President Donald Trump claimed earlier today that Iran’s “new” president wants a ceasefire. Trump didn’t specify who he was referring to and Pezeshkian has been president since 2024. Pezeshkian is also not seen to carry much influence over Iran’s decision-making.
Regardless, Iran’s foreign ministry called Trump’s claim “false.”
